stack up at the coastline. we'll see most of the patchy fog. for those of you along the coastline and right through the peninsula, we may get a little patchy fog but not expected to be much. and little in the way of fog down in the south bay. you should start off pretty clear. by 10:00, 11:00 in the morning, all those places with fog will clear out with a very decent saturday coming back with a lot of sunshine. hurricane calvin as well near central and southern mexico off the coastline. we're doing any traveling to apart vallarta, that hurricane stretches over 400 mile. the wind speeds making this a minimal category 1 storm. not extremely strong. winds right now, 75 miles per hour. and all four cast models have this pushing out toward the sea and well away from the u.s. mainland. that's the good news. not a threat to the united states. for the morning forecast, we are looking at upper 50s and low 60s for tonight.

and for saturday, it will still stay a little bit above average. but more on the warm side than hot from what we started at earlier this week. 77 in san mateo. 66 in san francisco, 69 in richmond. 85 in been easter. for the north bay, upper 70s and low 80s. and you can see as we head into next wednesday, thursday, and friday, instead of low 100s like we had earlier this week, 70-degree weather coming back. no forecast models have any rain coming our way but it does have us quite a bit cooler. >> still pleasant. let's get to sports. a sad memorial today for that baseball fan and hen rirk

it is so sad that he was there with his son. >> that is the saddest part of the story, jessica. a trip to the ballpark turned into a tragedy for a texas rangers baseball fan yesterday. rangers outfielder josh hamilton tossed a ball into the stands. shannon stone attempted to catch the ball for his 6-year-old son but stone fell over the rail. now he fell about 20 feet. the 39-year-old firefighter was pronounced dead on the way to the hospital. baseball fans and players are wearing ribbons today in his memory. the rangers team president nolan ryan gave his condolences to the victim's family. >> one of the saddest thing i've ever seen at the ballpark. and as i said earlier, it really goes down to the basic roots of who we are and what we stand for. and as a father and a

grandfather, my heart goes out to that family. and for ginny stone and for her son cooper. over to the a's and rangers, josh hamilton in the lineup today. one on for hamilton. singles to center. elvis andrus stops at second. next batter, hits to rosales. 1-0 texas. three batters later, bases load asked mike napoli, grand slam home run to left to make it 5-0. it is now 8-2, rangers in the sixth inning. the first place giants have earned 50 wins this season so far. that ranks third best in the national league. the champs looking for the third straight win tonight. and jamie has the latest on the orange and black. jamie? the last time ryan vogelsong faced the mets was his only bad

outing. he gave up five runs in four innings. so you can expect a little redemption on his mind. >> aid bad outing the first time i faced them earlier this year. i think that was one of his first starts. first starts here so maybe a little more comfortable now. and see what we get tonight. >> any time the team gets here, you want to get him back. and i didn't remember that game. when you said it. but i'm sure he'll come out and, with his best stuff tonight. >> i think any time a pitcher has a rough outing against a team, they want to go out there and pitch well. they should be out of motivation. we talk about bumgarner when he came back, he pitched well. that's big for him. but he just does what he's been doing.

he'll be just fine. >> reporter: mike fontenot was on the disabled list. reporting from at&t park, nbc bay area. >> thank you, jamesy. let's stick with the bat and ball. baseball fans had their say. the dodgers outfielder andre ethier has been added to the national league all-star team. he will replace shane victorino who has a torn ligament in his thumb. it appears nfl owner and players are closing in on a new collective bargaining agreement. how the u.s. court of appeal is still involved with this matter. today the court threw out a judge's order to lift the nfl lockout. negotiators plan to meet again monday. and before we get out of here, the ming dynasty is over. houston rockets center, yao ming has retired after nine seasons in the nba. ming played in only five games last season after missing the entire 2009 season with an ankle injury. 7'6" center, averaging 17 points

and nine rebounds. he retires in the same year as shaq so now they can hang out together on the beach. two guys with very big feet kicking it in the sand. >> they're going to need a big umbrella to cover them. >> some big old swimsuit running thes, huh? >> thank you. >> very
